We spent most of our time reviewing the grammar rules for using the present tenses: simple and continuous, and also talking about action and non-action verbs. We also completed some exercises regarding these grammar rules and Mark seemed to have a good understanding of the rules.

    A recommendation letter for my permanent residence application I enthusiastically endorse the permanent residency petition of Dr. Ching Yu, who I firmly believe has extraordinary ability in plant breeding and genetics research. I am the Supervising Science Research Specialist at Philippine Rice Research Institute. I earned my Ph.D. degree from the University of Minnesota in 2006 and have been working in the area of plant breeding for 12 years in the U.S. and Philippine. In fall 2013, I visited the lab where Dr. Yu works to enrich my understanding in plant genetics since this lab is one of the best in the world in this area. I came to U.S. with raw data and left with solutions and a finished manuscript. During my visit, Dr. Yu provided many helpful suggestions that speeded up and elevated my research. For example, I had ever been struggled with one analysis for days before I asked Dr. Yu for assistant. He solved the problem within 10 minutes by a method I never thought about, which illustrates his accumulation of experience and extraordinary research ability in this specific area. In the past, he published more than 10 articles in premier journals in this area including the one published on journal of experimental botany. These journals serve as important resource and reference material for researchers and industry professionals in the field to understand innovative and cutting edge technologies. Currently, Dr. Yu played critical rule in this lab by leading one sorghum ‘genomic selection’ project and one maize project. Total funding for these two projects adds up to more than one million. These researches provide valuable insights to help scientist and breeders to better understand the genetic basis of elite plant varieties, select promising materials and reduce the cost for plant breeding. With these, I strongly support his permanent residence application. If approved, he will be allowed to continue his research career in the U.S. which will be benefit this country. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

    Short Summary of today's reading: NIFA USDA-NIFA (The National Institute of Food and Agriculture) is a federal agency established in 2008 to replace the former CSREES (Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service). NIFA doesn’t perform any research by itself but rather helps fund it at the state at local level and provides leadership in these areas. NIFA provides annual formula grants to land-grant universities. The proposed maize heat tolerance research project meets two out of five priority area of NIFA: food security and hunger, and climate change. Leads by director Sonny, Ramaswamy, NIFA has approximately 350 employees. Its total research and education budget of $710 million supported 109 collaborated land-grant universities.

    What is the correct tense for essays related to mathematics? I was told by a student from China that all mathematics essays should be written in present tense. However, some tense usages are looks truly strange to me. Here are some examples: The propagation characteristic of non-isospectral variable coefficient Korteweg-de Vries (vcKdV) equation is analyzed. The one-solitonic solution and two-solitonic solution of normal KdV equation are obtained by the bilinear method, and the propagation characteristics of this equation are also displayed in this paper. And the OIW is simulated and analyzed by that calculation formula.

    Abstract about EEMD I recently wrote a abstract for some of my course data. After several times editing, however, I still feel there are some gamma error. I really appreciate if somebody could give any comment. Thanks, and here is the abstract: In this paper a modifi ed ensemble empirical mode decomposition(EEMD) method is presented, which is named \winning-EEMD"(W-EEMD). Two aspects of the EEMD, the amplitude of added white noise and the number of IMFs, are discussed in this method. The signal-to-noise ratio is used to measure the amplitude of added noise and the winning number of IMFs (which resulted most frequency) is used to unify the number of IMFs. By this method, the calculation speed of decomposition is improved, and the relative error between original data and sum of decompositions is reduced. In addition, the feasibility and effectiveness of this method are proved by the example of the oceanic internal solitary wave.

    How to read or speak her first name: Ann Marie Meeker I heard in a meeting that the 'Ann' and 'Marie' were pronounced together to refer to her first name. Is this common in English names? Under which situation people do that?
